A meatloaf is just like a really big sausage – that’s what I tell my kids, anyway! This recipe is super juicy, and the tangy sauce that goes with it is super divine. The cook’s mum gave her this recipe, as it was the only way she would eat meatloaf as a child. She now makes it for her kids and they love it! Yours will, too 🙂 How to make Mum’s meatloaf: key tips Start by removing the casings from your sausages (and discard them), so that all you are left with is the mince mixture inside. This recipe is incredibly easy – you just mix all the meatloaf ingredients together, place the mixture in a large baking dish (or roasting pan) and use your hands to shape it into a loaf. Think of it as Play-doh for adults! While the meatloaf is baking for a bit, you can get cracking on the sauce, which is just a matter of cooking everything in a saucepan and then pouring it over the meatloaf. The meatloaf, now covered in sauce, gets baked for another 45 minutes. Around every 10 minutes, use a basting brush to baste the meatloaf in the sauce that surrounds it, and watch the top begin to caramelise beautifully. Key ingredients in Mum’s meatloaf recipe You can use whatever flavoured sausages you like for this recipe, but opt for thick sausages so you don’t have to peel as many! Spicier mixtures, or those containing herbs, will add more seasoning to your meatloaf. Opt for a leaner beef mince, if you want to minimise the fat in this dish. Curry powder may seem like an unusual addition but it really adds depth of flavour. The sauce (and glaze), made from heating up some water, tomato sauce, white vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce and butter, is a tangy masterpiece. The big tip from the reviewers below is to double it! Of course, it can also be substituted with tomato sauce. Here are some more family-friendly recipes that use sausages. This sausage casserole is also a winter winner. This recipe was originally submitted by Juanita Shackleton, a member of the Australia’s Best Recipe community.
